GARY Whild hopes to have completed the fourth revamp of his Redditch squad this season with the arrival of Michael Briscoe.

Briscoe, who has joined from Halesowen Town, joined fellow centre-back Simon Weaver and midfielder Mark Hands in making their debuts in last weekend’s much-needed win at Hyde United which eased the relegation pressure on the Reds.

Manager Whild has signed seven new players within the last three weeks, and seen three exit, but he has no plans for further moves.

“I hope there’s no more movement,” said Whild. “I hope we can keep this group of lads together for a while.”

Briscoe and Weaver, who joined from King’s Lynn, provided the steel in defence but Whild believes the Reds now possess a strong spine through their team.

“We’ve got experience in the right areas now,” said Whild. “We’ve got Danny Lewis in goal and Michael and Simon in the centre of defence. They made a massive difference to the week before when we played Droyslden in terms of their strength and leadership.

“Carl Heggs has come in as a holding player in midfield and Marvin Robinson has settled in upfront.”
